You decide what happens when a break is missing
- NewThree options for a missing break: From now on you choose under employee protection in the break rules what happens when someone does not record the statutory break: “No automatic deduction”, “Full deduction” or “Deduction only down to the threshold”. The change applies from a day of your choice. If you pick a day in the past, MetronHR first shows you for every person how their time account changes. Nothing changes for your company until you switch: the full deduction stays.
- NewA different rule for single models and people: On the work time model and in the employee file, the former switch “Enforce break rules” is now a choice: “As in the company” or one of the three options. Where the switch was off, MetronHR still deducts nothing, but from now on shows the note that a break is missing. This way you see missing breaks even where nothing is deducted.
- NewHow a day’s time comes about: From now on, a click on the day total in the week view or on the date in the time account opens a breakdown of the day. It shows what was stamped, what a booking rule at the terminal credited, which breaks were counted or deducted and which setting is behind it, plus credits for absences and public holidays. This way you answer your employees’ questions without doing the maths yourself.
- ImprovementThe note beside an automatic break deduction now names the rule behind it, such as how many minutes of break are needed after how many hours of work, and for minors the Youth Employment Protection Act.
- ImprovementConnected AI assistants such as ChatGPT or Claude now only see what the connected person may see in MetronHR themselves, and change data only with that person’s rights. A disconnected connection ends at once.
- ImprovementAPI keys and AI connections now hand out salaries and pay only when you allow it explicitly.
- ImprovementShort messages at the bottom of the screen have a new, calmer look and follow the dark design.
- FixedWhen you approve a correction request, “approved” now appears only once the decision is really stored. Before, the message could appear even when the approval was refused and the request stayed open.
- FixedAn approved correction that would overlap another entry is now refused and names the entry in the way. Before, minutes could count twice.
- FixedAnyone who clocks out at the terminal in the evening after the automatic end of work is now clocked out correctly instead of starting a new section.
- FixedA card held to the terminal twice in the same minute no longer results in credited minutes.
